“Alessandro”- What’s going on? – I heard Catarina’s voice and went to her. She woke up with that commotion.- My angel, I’ll tell you later. Nando, take Cat to the library, please. – I asked Fernando knowing that he would protect her.- No, I want to know what’s going on. – Catarina insisted.- Oh, but is this the beggar you fell in love with? – Liz started to speak. – They told me that you got together with some random girl. But hey, my dear, don’t get your hopes up, because he loves me!- Are you crazy, Liz? Our relationship ended a long time ago.- I don’t think so, Alê, you fucked me in every way in New York last week! – Liz provoked.- Oh, you crossroads chicken, I’m going to put an end to that cynical face of yours and this time there won’t be a surgeon who can fix it. – Melissa went crazy, grabbing Liz by the hair again. The confusion was set.- ENOUGH! – We heard Catarina scream. – Mel, let go of the dog.Melissa let go and looked at her friend. Catarina stood up, fixed her d

When we got home, Pedro went to his room to get a box of building blocks and spread them out on the living room rug. Alessandro sat down with him and they spent the afternoon playing and watching cartoons on TV.After dinner, Pedro was exhausted. He fell asleep on his father's lap, who insisted on putting him to bed. Coming back to the living room, Alessandro hugged me on the couch.- My angel, we need to talk. – Alessandro sighed. – There's so much I want to know. But I have some things to tell you too. I don't know where to start.- Start by telling me about New York. – I asked, sitting across from him.- It was on Friday, the day we got there. We went to a bar at night and Liz showed up. I was upset and losing hope that you would come back to me. You were going out with Levy. So I went to Liz's apartment. It was stupid, but it was just that one time. – Alessandro closed his eyes. – And like you said, I stayed with her, but I only thought about you.- I won't say I didn't care, beca

- But look, isn't it Sardinhas remembering her old friends? – The voice on the other end joked.- Miguelito, my dear, I never forget my old friends. You're family, my dear! How are you? – Virgínia's eyes were shining.- I'm fine. I need a girlfriend to comfort me because my friend went to spend some time sunbathing in Malibu. – Miguel referred to Levy's departure.- Don't be dramatic! – Virgínia scolded. – But I called you just to tell you something that I know will cheer you up.- Oh really? I'm listening.- That idiot Heitor messed up badly and Sam is single. – Virgínia said.- Noooo! Really, Sardinhas?- That's right, Heitor got out of Samantha's line.- Sardinhas, you're the best! But now I have to hang up. We'll talk later. – Miguel hung up the phone quickly.It wasn't long before Sam's phone rang. She picked it up and showed us the screen. It was Miguel. She answered on speakerphone:- Miguel, what a surprise. Are you okay?- My queen, I'm dying of sadness. You know my friend le

The next thing I remember is waking up on the couch in Alessandro's living room with a start. I looked around and Samantha was holding my hand, Mrs. Margarida came in with a tray of tea, Patrício was talking nervously on the phone, Rick was also on the cell phone and Alessandro was shouting desperately at Danilo, the head of security.- Alessandro, she's awake. – Samantha called and he came quickly.- My angel, I've already called the police. Lygia and the girls are already on their way. It seems that Dênis and Daniel were the traitors. They both disappeared. – Alessandro cried as he updated me. – I've also asked Dr. Molina to come see you.- Alessandro, my son, he's just a little boy... – I was panicking.- We'll find him safely, my angel. We will. – Alessandro said looking into my eyes. I need you to stay calm for the sake of our baby in your belly, but I don't want to take my eyes off you. Let me take care of finding Pedro.- This one won't knock you out, my dear, but it will calm

“Alessandro”I went back to Catarina and hugged her. When the elevator opened, I turned her towards him. She ran out to hug her parents, just as Melissa ran towards her parents. Catarina’s father approached me.- Son, thank you for sending for us. – Mr. Antonio had the tired expression of someone who hadn’t slept and was very worried.- There’s nothing to thank you for, father-in-law! – I said, accepting his hug.Ms. Celina approached and her eyes were red. I hugged her and felt that maternal welcome. I greeted Melissa’s parents and explained the situation in general. Dr. Molina had taken Cat to her office and was examining her.I called Catarina’s parents and said we needed to talk. I had to fill them in on everything. We went to Cat’s office and Dr. Molina said she was better and left.- Did you send for my parents? – Catarina asked with wet eyes.- Yes. I called Lascuran and explained the situation. I sent the company jet so they could get there quickly. – I explained. - Cat, all I
